Turck harsh-duty ethernet switches

The Turck range of rugged, harsh-duty ethernet switches has been updated to include unmanaged models that will support either 4- or 8-pin M12 twisted pair cable, as well as 4- and 5-pin 7/8-16 UN power cable. The 4-pin switch is suitable for EtherNet/IP applications with both managed and unmanaged options, while the 8-pin switch is suitable for standard ethernet applications.

The fully encapsulated switches are capable of information transfer and real-time I/O control in harsh-duty locations. The switches support 10/100 Base-T with twisted pair ethernet cable. The unmanaged switches are available with 5 or 9 ports, while the managed switch is available with 9 ports, one of which is used as a RS232 configuration port.

Switches are simple to set up by applying power and connecting devices to the ports. A managed switch supports IGMP, RSTP, SNMP and VLAN and may be configured by the RS232 serial configuration port or by an internal web page.
